Apple, which won't surprise too many here. I wasn't an "Apple fanboy" before the iPhone, in fact I wasn't even interested in the first iPhone. I was solidly Ericsson and Sony Ericsson for many years before getting fed up with the bugs and laurel-resting and first defecting to HTC (who disappointed me in the end with the Tytn II). But the iPhone 3G, together with the AppStore, was too close to the way I always wanted my smartphones to be to ignore it, and I haven't looked back since. Apple support their customers with ongoing updates and improvements in ways that SE or HTC would never dream of, or certainly never dreamed of before Apple, which is one of the many reasons I'll almost certanly be buying the next iPhone when it's out.
Saying that, my iPhone 3G is probably the first phone I haven't been desperate to upgrade from now it's 18 months old. If Apple no longer existed and there was no new iPhone to upgrade to in the summer, I'd probably end up keeping it for a good while yet.

I don't really have a particular brand as such, but I have many demands of which only Sony Ericsson have been able to deliver so far.
My phone must be a superb mp3 player, take decent pictures and record video in good quality.
The UI must be fast.
I want buttons and T9 for my texting, not touch screen.
If it's a slider-phone, the top 1-2-3 buttons must not be placed close to the bottom of the slider, because then my thumbs will hit the slider instead of the buttons when texting. Sadly a lot of SE slider-phones have this fault.
I've tried mp3 players in other phones, and I just can't find any that beats SE's player. SE's UI is neat and fast, unlike those slow Symbian phones. I have yet to experience a fast Symbian phone. SE's UI also provides neat shortcuts. Simply perfect.
Currently the best phone for me is the SE Aino. Great device. I'm keeping that one until a similar device appears.
SE Elm is also nice in relation to my demands, but the screen is a bit too small.
In the future, maybe I'll learn to like touch-screen phones if Swype works the way I hope it does.

Ericsson and Ericsson only!!
I went with Sony Ericsson purely because of the Ericsson part of the joint venture. Initially the venture had the spirit of Ericsson in bringing out cutting edge technology in their phones and then the dreaded Sony branding took over and led them to think they can be profitable solely on Sony's brand names.
Now I don't really have a favourite brand but I know I wouldn't touch a Samsung and an LG. HTC are, to me, somewhat similar to the Korean cousins and I don't like them much but may tolerate them.
